attempts may he to the water by inverting the shaving mu It is therefore the principal object of the invention to provide a. bar or calre of soap constructed to space the soap from the vertical wall of a shavin' mug permitting drainage of water therefrom upon inversion of the shaving mug.

More specifically, it an object of the invention to provide a means for embracing a bar of soap, said means being adjustable longitudinally of the soap and including radially projecting A means adapted to engage the wall of a shaving mug to hold the soap in spaced relation with respect to the wall of the mug, hus permitting ready removal of water from the mug after co1npletion of the lathering operation, thus conserving the soap, as well as permitting aeration of the soap due to circulation of air around the soap.

Additions-l objects, advantages and features of invention. will he apparent from the following description, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein,

Figure l is a fragmentary perspective view of a shaving rnug housing a bar of soap, the latter having my invention applied thereto.

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof, and

Figure 3 is a top plan View of my spacing means.

There is illustrated a shaving mug it of conventional construction including a bottom wall I l and a circumscrihing upright wall ii.

A bar or cake of soap is of a diameter less than the interior of the mug is shown within the mug and circumscribing the soap i3 is an annular ring is of a diameter to permit longitudinal adjustment thereof upon the soap to elevate or lower the soap within the shaving mug. The 4 ring is may be formed from any suitable strap metal or it may be constructed from plastic ma.- terials, but in any event the ring is formed. with radially extended lugs it, equally spaced apart of such lengths as to frictionally engage the interior wall of the mug to secure the soap in a. central position and spaced from the wall it of 1e mug.

it will understood that the bar or cake of may have the lugs i5 formed as an integral thereof and serve the same purpose.

operation, will be seen that when a shaving hrush is replayed to develop a lather excess water will he accommodated in the space it and on inversion of the mug such water will readily n from the mug and due to the fact that air circulate about the soap it will be readily died and waste or soap is thus prevented.

While 1' have shown and described a preferred n of the device this is by way of illustration and 1 consider as my own all such modifications in construction as fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. The combination of a shaving mug and a. bar of soap, said bar of soap having a ring thereon, said ring being longitudinally adjustable on said bar of soap, sai i ring having radially extended lugs adapted to contact the interior vertical wall of said mug and maintain said soap in spaced relation with respect to said wall.

A bar of soap adapted to be positioned within a shaving mug, said bar of soap having a. ring thereon, said ring being longitudinally adjustable thereon and having radially extended and circumferentially spaced lugs adapted to contact the interior vertical wall of the shaving mug when positioned therein and maintain said soap in spaced relation with respect to said wall.
